Polish nobility in Gdańsk by Wilhelm August Stryowski, c. 1900:

propaganda: I feel like art from Gdańsk isn’t talked about enough and this painting just speaks to me in a way. It’s refering to the golden age of the city at the same time showing the disparities between the rich and the poor. Also the old man on the left could be the artist himself.

about the artist: Wilhelm August Stryowski was a painter from Gdańsk. In 1872 he founded the City Museum in the same building which now houses the National Museum of Gdańsk!

WATCHING THE MESSENGER: THE STORY OF JOAN OF ARC (what a mouthful) FINAL THOUGHTS (sort of, I'm never done with Jeanne D'arc):

so the thing that's interesting about this one is that in writing her young and inexperienced which she was and also wrapped into this movie's depiction of womanhood and in the way it writes mental health is that she's got this sort of "idek what i'm doing or what the consequences are" vibe to her a lot of the time, especially after the first big battle and she sees all the corpses around her and has a meltdown followed by what seems to be dissociation for pretty much the whole rest of the film until her death

and the other thing is the things it chooses to play very straight and the things it does very differently -- so the killing of her sister in the beginning, which gives an early trauma to hearken back to and an added "impetus" for her to go to war, and which never happened vs the very specific sources it chose to deal with for her relationship to gender presentation (shocker i'm going into that), opting to nearly totally brush past it until the scene where she's "forced" to wear men's clothing again and gets burned for it -- which there is, to be clear, textual evidence that she wasn't given other clothes while incarcerated and did get judged for that, but also noticeably didn't include any of the other writing related to her visions telling her to wear men's clothing and this movie heavily mixing joan's visions with her as someone who's got a mental health issue of some kind, it's interesting that this snag of the clothing was mainly done away with, because it's a film that doesn't totally engage with her as someone with agency. she's mad, you see. that is the focal point. and what does "wearing men's clothings because the visions told me to" have to do with this madness? nothing, in fact it's kind of... not-very-mad-seeming

which is interesting as a counterpoint to a version i saw in the globe, which kind of went "an interpretation of joan as ye olde non-binary and also a lesbian" (this is flippantly written for brevity's sake, it was doing more than that, but that is the gist) which i did enjoy for the way it brought together a massive community of trans and nb theatre-goers within the globe and really felt like it was more for us than for joan, which i had struggles with because it went so far into the other direction of making everything a bit too modern for me. a bit too "joan's doing these choices with the idea that one day men's clothing will become allowed and joan has an internal sense of gender that coheres with modern sensibilities," and being a little timid around the religious and vision-y side of things

which is the crux of joan. you probably won't get a version that you're totally satisfied with, because joan As Figure encapsulates so many seeming paradoxes that we project ourselves onto. there's a distinct messiness to her that is very human in a way you don't always feel to quite this extent with mythos -- probably because of those court records and the subsequent early writings and the fact that she was nineteen years old when she was killed and it wasn't really that long ago comparatively

I think this movie struggled under the weight of that humanity, not for lack of trying to show it, but a. because of whatever personal bias besson went in with (which included basically stealing the project from kathryn bigelow and casting his then-wife mila jovovich, so youknow. there's some Vibes inherent in that already, and i do think bigelow could have done much more with both the feminism and the action, both of which were very uneven in this version imo) b. because of whatever other weird choices were made (i still think it was incredibly ugly-looking and many of the actors were flat -- not you, vincent cassel you were great) and c. because a movie possibly can't do it justice in the first place idk. we'll keep searching

obvs the passion of joan of arc is a masterclass. but it manages to get around a lot of these issues by essentially being all about the trial and a study of one of the most evocative faces ever put to silent film -- now that's giving "because the visions told me to"!

Hey can Servants get a normal human pregnant

it’s not impossible, but they normally can’t impregnate nor get pregnant, no.

In Fate/Apocrypha, Jeanne d'Arc says that because they have spiritual bodies it should be impossible for a Servant to get pregnant, but they might be able to if they are incarnated or possessing a human body.

"W-Well, it's... not impossible, I suppose. But a Servant's body are spiritual in nature to begin with, so unless a Servant is truly incarnated, such a feat would be practically a miracle."

to be fair this is technically just what one character is saying and it’s talking about getting pregnant and not impregnating, but it’s consistent with what we know about servant bodies and should apply both ways around. they’re spirit bodies, so they’re normally functionally sterile.

that aside, i don’t think we were ever explicitly told how the one servant who canonically did get pregnant via a human (izanami in fate/requiem) actually achieved it. id seen speculation that it was incarnation, a host body, or even just some kind of divine authority unique to her. so to get pregnant or get someone pregnant, they’d have to:

A. be physically incarnated somehow, like via the grail

B. have a host body like jeanne in apoc or other such pseudo servant stuff (but i believe the baby would then just technically have half of the host body’s genetics, and not ‘theirs’, if that makes it weird)

C. achieve some secret third thing that bypasses it

Ruins of the castle - merry-making in Tenczynek by Henryk Pillati, 1855:

propaganda: Dancing in ruins is just such a great aesthetic, a real fuck you to feeling defeated, a celebration of the short wonder that is life, it makes me wanna get up and dance too.

On this day in 1431 Jeanne d'Arc, known in her village as Jehanette, was burned at the stake without the mercy of strangulation by the English civil authorities in Rouen, France for the stated crime of heresy. She was 19 years old. She was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920; today is her feast day. (St. Jeanne by Kay Nielsen c 1914)

SMALL THREADS ONLY! Everywhere on Jeanne D'Arc's tumblr I see my soldiers lamenting the fact that their longer threads are left to languish b/c the time & effort it takes to really dig into those are just not readily available any more.

That is why going forward on shapeshyft.internet.edu i'm gonna be sticking to small threads only for a bit. Just to do my part in making y'all, the people that matter, less stressed.

At 1 minute seven seconds the date of Messiah is stated at the year of 1464 which is too late, because the Messiah was actual born in 1412 and lived to the rightful age of about 19 years old.

<—————————————————> Joan of Arc was born around 1412 and died on May 30, 1431. She was burned at the stake in Rouen for heresy. Joan of Arc is believed to have been born in Domrémy, France, and was a young peasant girl who claimed to have received divine guidance to lead the French army during the Hundred Years' War.
